COMING EVENTS September brings us to the two club championship rounds at Lincoln Hills, Saturday and Sunday, September 24 & 25. Renee has already sent out the first call for entries into one or both of these events. October starts with the Reno trip October 6 through 8. It’s not too early to mark Saturday, October 29 on your calendar, the date of our end-of-year scramble and awards luncheon.
NCGA QUALIFIER NEWS Our four person team of Alan Staton, Brad Erway, Steve Ryan and Rich Anderson finished second in their qualifying round at Castle Oaks. They played at Spyglass Hill on August 30 and were in third place after the first day of competition. The second day at Poppy Hills didn’t go so well and the team dropped out of the top three. Alan Staton and Jim Svobodny played at Castle Oaks on August 10 for their Senior Four-Ball competition. They played well and carded a score of -5, but it took -7 to make the playoff for the final slots. Our Teal Bend tournament was also an NCGA qualifier; after much to-ing and fro-ing over scheduling conflicts, our representatives will be Brad Erway, Jim Svobodny and Will Wong, who will replace Joe after Joe’s recent injury. Good luck to all our competitors.
DID YOU KNOW . . . We don't always play from the white tees for men and red tees for women
Before you start play, remember to check the score cards to determine the tee placements for men and women. Renee color codes our score cards so you can easily see the tee you will use. When we played Whitney Oaks, one member disqualified herself when she realized she was playing from the red tees instead of the gold. I heard that some other women played from the red tees but I don't know who might have done so. When we played Wildhorse earlier this year, I heard that some men played from the white tees when the card designated the blue tees. Golf is a game of honor and it’s important to play by the USGA Rules of Golf (and the NCGA adheres to the USGA rules). We won’t backtrack and DQ others who may have played from the red tees. But, now you know this rule and I’m sure you’ll follow it in the future. If you are disqualified from the tournament, I can still post the score if you play at least 13 hole (see July and August newsletters for information about posting scores when you play 7 of 9 or 13 of 18 holes).
SELECTIONS ARE BASED ON THE SLOPE AND RATING FOR EACH COURSE
SLOPE: The average course has a slope of 113. The red tees at Whitney Oaks is way above average at 136. Therefore, we selected the gold tees which were 131 and still plenty difficult. The white tees for men at Whitney Oaks had a slope of 125 which was slightly easier. RATING: Because we are a coed club with members competing from different tees, members playing from the set of tees with the higher USGA Course Rating receive additional stroke(s) equal to the difference between each USGA Course rating. The resulting figure is rounded off to the nearest whole number (.5 or more is rounded upward). If the women had played from the red tees at Whitney Oaks, they would have received 3 strokes more than the men (women 72.5 – men 69.9 = 2.6 rounded to 3). However, with play from the gold, the 69.9 rating for men and 69.6 rating for women had .3 difference so there was no adjustment. Please let me know if you have any questions. Please let me know if you have any questions.

SUNSHINE Club member Brian Ferguson and his wife recently had a baby girl; congratulations to the Ferguson and to proud grandpa Mark Ferguson. I’m sorry to report that Ester Rounds’ mother passed away recently. The club sends its condolences and prayers to Ester and her family. Joe Gough tore his Achilles tendon while playing at Dry Creek, which required surgery to repair the damage. Joe is now in a walking boot; remarkably, he is still hoping to make the Reno trip. Have a quick recovery, Joe. Remember to keep any ailing club members in your thoughts and prayers
